IN MEMORIUM C. JOHN PATERSKI "STEELE"
In Aeterna
This is a temporary beginning to a memorial for my dear friend.
Hoping to place scans of 4 photographs of C. John later on.
I don't know if your computer works like mine. Mine shows a little hand indicating
that I can click the video picture anywhere. Other systems, you have to click right
on the little arrow in the center of the picture.
From the movie Beaches with Barbara Hershey and Bette Midler, here's the song Wind Beneath My Wings.
After C. John and I had seen the movie and developed a real love for the way it treated
the disease and showed how it changes peoples lives (and even told people inquiring about Viral Cardiomyopathy to see the film); we got the CD soundtrack. One evening he was
playing it -- and almost in tears, said: "I'm dedicating this song to, George." Needless
to say, I had great difficulty in NOT breaking down myself. Well, at this
time, I want to dedicate it right back to him.
Further down the page [eventually] will be another video, -- this one the version of
Bette Midler singing the song on concert stage.
Here's an interesting video on HOMELESSNESS. It's called "Listen to the Voices"
and it's singer is Inigo Byrne. Both Inigo and the song are up for the "TREBBY AWARDS"
THIS year (2007).. GOOD LUCK TO HIM AND THE SONG!!.. [You're gonna LOVE this. Listen
very closely to the lyrics/words. About 'cardboard hotels, they sleep on the ground' & 'livin in the shadows, dyin in the cold'.]
